Well, I broke down and actually did it...
Finally bit the bullet for my '36...was gonna run the chromed dropped axle I've been so proud of all these years, but just couldn't get the 5.0 to sit where I wanted it to without serious surgery to the firewall, and putting the engine in the cab about 4 to 6 inches.
Sooo, made a deal with a guy on a Heidts SuperRide2 IFS for the front, and a Currie "HotRod" rear (57 inches wide) for the backend...traded some parts I had for the Currie, have a 9 inch dropin from TigerDan that'll get me to the point I can start setting up a 4link for it.
Should have all parts here in the next week or two and the "build" will begin.
I hate spending money on stuff, but figured since this will turn into a daily driver and get about 30-40K miles a year on it (I've a long commute to work), best to start with new stuff and make it as comfortable as I can.
My new goal is a rolling chassis with he engine and tranny in place by the end of April...I'll start some gallery photo's once things arrive.
